📣 Signal boost - PMI exhibition coming to the @chicagoculturalcenter 📣
.
It's Lumpen magazine's 30th birthday this year. It's also Public Media Institute's 20th anniversary, Co-Prosperity Sphere's 15th year of existence, and five years of live FM broadcasting for Lumpen Radio. Lots of milestones! These occasions led us to create an exhibition about 30 years of Lumpen and its related projects at the Chicago Cultural Center. Please stop by any time from October 16 through February 6, 2022… Show description below:
.
Successful Failures: Thirty Years of Lumpens, Radical Media and Building Communities of the Future
.
In Chicago, we can make and do anything we want, when we try. Through the certainty of chance, collective engagement, casual encounters, and accidental actions, an underground magazine called The Lumpen Times became the hub for a series of cultural platforms spawning hundreds of projects, spaces, happenings, exhibitions, and initiatives.
.
Collaborators from all walks of life experimented through interpersonal relationships and through myriad multi-media creative platforms, including cultural sites, publications, mutual aid networks, and entrepreneurial spaces. These projects were often improvisational, accidental, or short-lived, but as each receded, inevitably it fueled a new one in its wake. Our collective success through repeated failure is explored in this exhibition.
.
Here, Chicago Cultural Center galleries are transformed into a catalog of strategies, highlighting dozens of “case studies” demonstrating how artists, activists, educators, creative entrepreneurs, and just plain wild youth have built community and culture in our beloved city. Each study includes the reason it started, examples of its production, and the reasons it failed, mutated, or continues to this day.
Miss the premiere? Tune in TOMORROW for 🎊The Buddy Hour🎊 streaming at 11am on @Lumpen.TV!
